I've seen it somewhere, probably in your training thread, but I'm tired....

Do you train all of your players in the same roles they are playing in the tactic or do you alter them to train the attributes you want to improve on a player by player basis?

I'm guessing the FW and the HB are the ones where additional attributes might want to be trained?

Can you train consistancy?

I tend to train strikers in the Advanced Forward role and Central Midfielders in Box to Box roles as they seem to hit all the right spots.

Beyond that i mix and match, i retrain positions a lot, so if i'm converting a Central Midfielder to DM or Centre Back and they are already good passers etc i'll often choose the more defensive role to bring on that side of their game, i.e. i might choose Anchor Man in the DM Spot or limited defender in the DC spot to bring up tackling/marking.

Same sort of approach if i'm converting wingers to wingbacks etc.

The only way to improve consistency is via match time, and a lot of it. Might take 3 or 4 seasons to move it 1 or 2 points at most.

If i have someone highlighted as 'needing to improve consistency' i'll normally bin them. Means they wont play to their full potential very often. Better a weaker player with high consistency.

Back to back promotions with Gateshead from the Conference to the Championship but I'm thinking I'm punching well above my weight now as I sit in the drop zone after 6 games with just 1 win. I'll persevere though and see how this ends up

I'd just train the central midfielders to box to box to fine tune them, wide mid-fielders to Wingers/Attack.

Thanks

You appear to be right. Im retraining the midfielders (and have added Ntcham and Vilhenna who are perfect to rotate with). Vardy is scoring and the wide mids are performing well. LOVE the impact of the CWB's.

Maddison and Tielemans seem happy playing those roles and adjusting in training too.

Season 3 with my Leeds team resulted in a Premiership title, Carabao Cup win & Euro Cup win (After going out of the Champions cup in the group stage). Was knocked out of the FA cup in the Semi-finals aswell so nearly success in every competition entered.

Season 4 currently in December. sat top of the Premier League once again battling it out with a very good Liverpool squad. Made it out of the Group stages of the Champions cup this time so lets see how far I can go with that one. And into the quarter finals of the Carabao cup hoping to win that once again.

Got the maximum amount of foreign players (17) due to the brexit rules within my game and around 5 wonderkids sat in the reserves who are all foreign so some jiggling around is going to have to happen at the end of the season. Cant seem to pick up or find any english wonderkids worth snapping up.

Going great guns with this. First season with Leicester im fighting with Man City for the title and still in the FA Cup in March. Very Solid defence and joint highest scorers. Possession ranges depending on the opponent between 45-55%.

I was doing really well with Newcastle in first season , 6 or 7 games unbeaten , opposition hardly having a shot - using 4141v2. Then I went to man Utd in the cup and got trounced 4-0 although stats suggested even game , since then I hardly score and opposition score off only 1 or 2 shots on target . NO real changes to my team either , tried switching to the 442 in the other thread aswell , but still same outcome.

Have to say, still going strong after the update. I'm Leyton Orient, won the conference, then won League 2, then the update came and im top of League 1 after about 15 games. No money spent (what money?!), just some loans and free signings, my hardest thing is I want to stay loyal to my original players but sometimes the head must lead the heart and I must drop them.

Using the 4-4-2 formation exclusively. Won the Scottish premier league in my second season. I'm halfway through my third season and check out these results:

I've qualified for the last 16 of the Champions League having beat teams like Man City 4-0 in the group stages. Cruising the league and currently sit 13 points clear. This is by far the best tactic I've used in FM2019. It consistently gets results.

My game is fully updated so I'm assuming it's the most recent match engine. What I would say is that I changed the two strikers to CF-s and CF-a. Rangers have Morelos who is very good as a CF so I wanted to keep him in that role. The wide midfielders get about 30 assists a season it's crazy.

I came up against Bayern Munich in the last 16 of the CL and drew 5-5 over two legs and was knocked out on away goals. Given the difference in budgets this tactics is performing brilliantly in Europe.
